Ureter Relaxation

The ureter is a vital structure connecting the kidneys to the bladder, facilitating the flow of urine through coordinated contractions of its smooth muscle layer. At REPROCELL, we offer a comprehensive range of human-based assays, including ureter relaxation studies, to evaluate the effect of your test compound on ureter smooth muscle function. 

For ureter relaxation studies, we employ sophisticated techniques such as tissue baths to measure the force of contraction in isolated ureter rings. Sensitive transducers detect subtle changes in muscle tension, providing accurate insights into the pharmacological effects of your test compound, including the potential of ureter relaxant medications.  

Our tissue samples are sourced from trusted networks, ensuring high-quality, ethically obtained samples for each study.
